Normally I would wait several hours to start another discussion, but I will be gone all day today. And it seems the bank is stuck, and very few people are here responding. I want to write before I forget. In my dreams last...

AnjaP There are dreams that can leave us feeling shaken and the scary mood of the dream doesn't dissipate when we wake up. I hope your day goes well and the dream's memory fades.

I love sipping my first cup of coffee in the early morning when most of the city is still asleep. Nothing like it! The sun looks like it wants to come out but is not quite certain yet. I hope it makes the right decision to shine...

AnjaP Coffee is my way of introducing myself to the day. I hope your day turned out bright. We've had a lot of mornings lately that looked like they could go either way. Today however, I am pretty sure the sky has decided upon rain.

No, not a big one, just a teeny kiddie pool. After I did the recycle thingy I went to the nearby walmart and found they were on sale for $7.98. Maybe this time I can get it to last more than a...

AnjaP What a lovely photo. I hope that Roscoe will use and like the pool. That's such a good idea to help keep pets cool in the summer heat. On America's Got Talent, every year, there is at least one singing dog. I think it's just one more way that dogs aspire to...

My guitar teaching week ends with two 15-year-old girls who are best friends. I work with them together for an hour, and they have been fun over the last several months, but they're also driving me to drink. One understands music...

AnjaP It is not your responsibility to make them want to excel. Not every 15 year old is Paul McCartney. Some will return to their instruments later in life and regret their lack of discipline. At some point in our lives, we all regret our lack of discipline about...

As you age your soul and mind tend to wander home. My Mom was typical. She wandered into dementia and sometimes wandered out again. She'd talk about her brother. The year he broke his leg in a skiing accident and was quite...

AnjaP I think it's a matter of what is usual in different cultures. Here in the US, dear is not used often in some areas, but might be used by older adults in other regions. I do not use it to address people. But I realize that it is a common form of address in...

In another NIGHTLINE-story, I heard that a college-professor quit the university because--even though they offered him 'more money' than he was currently making--they wouldn't give him tenure! Why not take the money?

AnjaP Tenure basically guarantees him a job for life, unless he does something really outrageous like kidnapping the dean. It means that when the college makes cuts they will fire other professors and not him. He's looking for cushy security. Or his ego might...

AnjaP I think Facebook only appears to be positive because people are so busy trying to prove that their lives are so much better than their friends' lives. This requires a lot of carefully posed "candid" shots of their exciting adventures.

AnjaP I really don't know how to respond to such contentment. You are lucky, indeed, to face the seasons with such enthusiasm. I am all wrapped up in pouting.

AnjaP @Alwayshopeful I understand, but carbs are addicting. You don't realize it until you give them up, but eating carbs causes more cravings for carbs and increases your appetite. Once you stop eating carbs, you lose the desire for them. So, you don't feel...

AnjaP "...most of the new cases are among the non-vaccinated." I certainly hope so. It would be very worrisome if most of the new cases were among the vaccinated.

AnjaP @Butterfingers Yes. Using a ketogenic diet will induce ketosis, which burn fat rather than sugar. It is not easy to do if you are vegetarian, since most fruit and vegetables are high carb and so, eaten in more limited amounts. But getting rid of grains and...

AnjaP I eat as close to zero carb as possible. My daily intake is usually less than 6 grams of carbs. Consider that a slice of wheat bread has 15 or more carbs and you can imagine how many carbs most people consume in a day. If you don't eat sugar or carbs, your...

AnjaP I like the painted design. The blue and green leaves with the occasional orange/tan leaf blends in with the landscaping very nicely and looks like a natural pattern. It's also nice to invite the birds to visit so you can enjoy watching them frolic.
